Buy Prism Snapshot 1.4 Speed Foil Kite, Blue

Prism Snapshot 1.4 Speed Foil Kite, Blue Product Description:

• Quick and agile with moderate pull and great precision
• Great for learning sport-kiting basics with nothing to break in a crash
• Shaped ram air inlets keep wing from collapsing in gusts
• Stuffs into a compact pouch small enough to take anywhere
• Ready to fly with pre-attached Spectra lines, flight straps, line winder, and tail

Product Description

The Snapshot 1.4 is a perfect choice for smaller or younger pilots who want to feel some power but might find the 1.9 or 2.5 too much to handle in stronger winds. Almost as fast as the smaller 1.2, it sports a solid pull and the crisp maneuverability that makes the Snapshots so perfect for dual-line training and all-around fun. We don’t know of another foil that can hold its own against a framed stunt kite for precision and cornering, and if you crash it’ll reinflate and launch easily without the dreaded walk of shame to set it back up. Comes ready to fly with Spectra lines pre-attached, flight straps, tail and compact storage pouch.

First foil kite and I'm hooked....
By Zebra Yello
I did a little bit of searching and reading of reviews and decided on the Prism Snapshot 1.4 for my first kite. It arrived in 2 days and came in a nice self-contained carrying pouch and basic instructions. Since there was no assembly required on this kite, I unwound the lines and proceeded to find a spot where I wouldn't encounter any trees or other obstacles. The lines were of equal length (unlike some earlier complaints I had read about) and had a red and blue handle attached the ends. For the reviewer who said they needed gloves to fly this kite, um, that would be a no. ;) Perhaps I'm a quick study, perhaps the kite is well designed, or perhaps I had perfect wind conditions but it took me all of about 3 minutes to figure out how to control the kite and fly it back and forth, up, down, overhead, side to side... This kite is a lot of fun, pulls a bit in high wind and seems well made (in China) for the price. After making me about an hour late getting back to work from lunch, I put the kite back in the carry pouch and decided I want one about twice the size. :)

a lot of fun to fly...
By A/V Man
This is a great little kite to fly. It will make you want to fly everyday. I am going to upgrade to a larger model because I am a big guy and want more pull. I am thinking about the 1.9 or even the 2.5 but will still enjoy my 1.4.

Fantastic
By CrunchyFrog
I spent quite a bit of time deciding what kite to buy (1.2/1.4/1.9/2.5)I first purchased the 1.4 and have subsequently bought the 1.9First, the prism kites are high quality and have a very nice pouch to carry your new kite around in. A foil style kite like this is great to learn on as there isnt any pieces to break on the kite when (and it will) hit the ground hard. The main thing to know about these kites is that the 1.2 is fast and the 2.5 has a lot of pull, the rest fall in between.I started with the 1.4 as it came recommended to be the best compromise between speed and pull. I weigh 240 and in 15 mph winds (tree tops are swaying quite a bit) it gave a little bit of tug. I knew after this I was hooked. The 1.9 behaves quite nicely in 5-8 mph winds and above that becomes a bit like landing a big fish. I was out flying today in 15+ mph winds and felt like I was really flying it for the first time. I was involuntarily pulled forward 3-4 steps in large gusts and found myself leaning back quite a bit to compensate for the pull. It was exhilerating! I was not prepared for the difference between these two kites.If you arent sure about flying and dont want a workout in high winds get the 1.4 but you will likely want to purchase the 1.9 or 2.5 later. I like to give the 1.4 to friends who havent flown before to learn the controls wihtout being pulled around.If you are pretty sure you are going to like flying and are only going to purchase one kite get the 1.9 or 2.5.

Monitor Lacks Robust Design
By Redmund K. Sum
I bought one of the Dylos monitors several months ago and I was initially quite impressed. I have the more advanced, 0.5 micron model, and it reported count readings that seemed to correlate with time of day (lower reading at night) and activity (e.g. higher reading when I am dusting) However, I was not as impressed after it started to report readings that were inexplicable. For example, after a while, the reading seem to rest on a plateau of about 2200 (which signified bad air quality), whereas before it should normally read 700. I taped a piece filter paper to cover the ingress and the reading will drop to 1700. So I called up Dylos customer and technical support, who were very friendly and helpful. However, the answers I got from them were not entirely encouraging. First, the monitor had no calibrating function. So, if you suspect the reading is too high (as in my case) or too low, you are just left wondering; and of course, once you think a test or measuring tool is suspect, you don't trust/use it! Second, both the ingress and egress of the monitor has no wire gauze to protect insects from getting inside. This is not good, because if an insect got inside and contaminated the lens, the readings would be completely meaningless. Third, worse yet, you are not supposed to open up the monitor (it will void the warranty; laser might injure your eye if you are not careful) to do any cleaning. So, if, over time, cooking grease vapor, say, condensed on the surface of the lens, the accuracy of the reading would be called into question, and you cannot do any meaningful cleaning. Dylos technical support was kind enough to check and service the monitor for me (even though I admitted to having opened the unit), but the monitor still does not work right.So, as much as I appreciate the good folks at Dylos, who really tried to help me, I just do not find this monitor a reliable tool, due to the design flaws I outlined above, which I hope they would address in a subsequent version. I hope your experience is better.

It does everything I expected
By Excavator61
I bought the .5 micron model. The reason I bought one of these is to test the exhaust from different HEPA vacuum sweepers I have. All I wanted to know is what works and what doesn't... meaning what vacuum sweepers put out readings of "0" particles down to 2.5 microns on that scale reading and "0" particles down to .5 microns on that scale reading in the vacuum's exhaust air. I simply put the Dylos near the exhaust port on the vac and waited for the results.My lead and asbestos safe vacuums are easily confirmed to the "0" readings as they should be, where other HEPA vacs I own were confirmed to blow all kinds of potentially toxic dust out their exhaust ports even though they were "HEPA" vacs. And yes, we have since trashed every HEPA vac that did not blow clean air. Some of the "hepa" vacs were blowing out as much as a staggering 670,000 particles per hepa-filtered cubic foot of air... it was really eye-opening.The Dylos told us everything we needed at a very reasonable price and I feel it is saving our lungs on the job site. This may not be the manufacturer's intended use for this product, but it works.

Perfect exponential decay.
By Herbert J. Ward
The day after I got this meter, I accidentally burnt some food, in quantity corresponding to about 1/4 slice of bread. I opened windows on opposite sides of the house, put a box fan in one of the windows, and turned on the central A/C fan to keep the house air well mixed. Then I took a reading with this meter every 5 minutes for 70 minutes. The result was a perfect exponential decay, as expected from the differential equation. I'm sold on this thing. If it last at least 5 years, I'll be a happy camper. Now I have a reliable way to tell when to run outdoors and when to run indoors. Currently, the outdoor PM2.5 is about three times higher than in my house. So I'll be running indoors this morning.
